When I got my first detector in 1983 I did not find my first coin until the 5th time out. That was then , this is now. Good luck.

Those are "hot rocks" they will set your detector off. Try the mulch pits @ playgrounds and schools. The $$$ is there just keep digging and stay positive ;D

Hello fellow upstate New Yorkian,

Congrats on your first finds. As for those "hot rocks", it looks like "welding slag" to me. Found a good share of it myself.

GL & HH,

Pennys, a nickle, and trash.....Sounds like your doing everything right the first time out.Now just add patience and the good stuff will surface...H.H.....Joe
 

you'll be hooked in no time Littlebird, 12 cents is a great start, before you know it you'll have a box of loaded with items you've found. Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing the pic.
 

Welcome, Littlebird13 to the forum! Looks like you're off to a good start. The finds will get better with time as you learn your detector. Looking forward to your posts. H H!
